"BANANA CUE"

Banana Cue

               An average Filipino would enjoyed the typical street food in his home country. One of the most popular street foods in the Philippines is the banana cue. It is similar to the barbecue, pork in a stick, but in this case instead of a pork, bananas are put on the sticks. The one thing that I like about this tasty snack is that it is very simple and yet very tasty. It is a symbolism that Filipinos are contented with simple things. The banana cue can be found almost anywhere in the streets of manila. It is a typical merienda for the Filipinos during the afternoon. A banana is covered with sugar and dip in hot oil to caramelized the sugar.

Other ingredients can vary greatly, but the most common secondary ingredients are eggs and milk. The traditional preparation is very time-consuming. A specially made Terra cotta container is lined with a single large section of a banana leaf. It is placed over preheated coals and the rice flour and water mixture is poured into it, taking care not to spill it into the container itself. Another piece of banana leaf is added to the top and covered with more preheated coals.
